Hi @loribmt , It’s great to hear from you and coincidentally I came across a lovely article written about you and another young successful BMT patient!
My father is at Mayo this week for all of his pre-testing for his BMT 🙏 we’re wishing, hoping and praying that all goes well and that he’s able to receive his transplant November 25th! It’s been a very long road with several setbacks (he had to have 3 stents placed at end of Sept. and some hip/knee joint instability issues came up this past month) So, I’m unsure if all of that will prevent him from being able to receive the transplant??? But, I’m incredibly proud of his will to keep pushing forward and continually picking himself back up (-literally!)and standing tall! Thank you for all of your support and for connecting me with @capthondo regarding his recent (-and successful!!!) BMT. He was a wealth of knowledge, encouragement and support and was very gracious with his time in answering my many questions!! I will keep you posted on our progress. Thank you from the bottom of my heart for your care and comfort in navigating this arduous process! Much love and gratitude to you and this whole community!❤️

Ohh, I’m so happy to see your dad is pushing forward! He’s quite the trooper! Ha, I don’t envy him this week of testing. It lets you know you’re alive, that’s for sure! My husband and I called it being Mayo-naised! No one can whip you into that many medical tests, classes and procedures in such a short amount of time as Mayo Clinic. It’s exhilarating and awe inspiring to see this level of efficiency and expediency, isn’t it?

I hope your dad comes through with flying colors and can go ahead with the transplant. He’s got the best attitude and that will go a long way in getting him back to normalcy!
I’m so happy that we’ve been able to offer you the help and encouragement to get your dad and you through this process. You’re never alone here…you have a new, larger family now. 😀 I’m the Auntie Lori you never knew…the one they ever talk about. Hahah.

Anyway, Godspeed to your dad and keep us posted, ok?
